Sorry it has taken so long to finish this Journal of my time in the Holy Land. My last posts will be published in the next few days. Promise!
Today we visited the Chapel of the Enunciation. According to Catholicism this is the place where the Angels revealed themselves to Marry and told her should would be giving birth to Jesus.
After that we went to a Jewish village where they taught us to make unleavened bread, and they let us ride their donkeys.
It’s very interesting traveling across Israel, and seeing all the amazingly magnificent churches built by the Catholics. During the crusades whenever they heard that an area was significant in the life of Jesus they plopped down a church. Even if that meant ruining what already laid there. Such as at the Chapel of the Enunciation. Caves, which were the dwellings of the time of Jesus, have been found underneath the church. Which may be the place the angels spoke to Mary.
